Doesn't everyone think they're a poet?

So I decided to start posting some of my writings on my blog. Why, you ask? Why to stroke my ego you know. Anyway, here's a sample!

Brian

As the taste of you traces its waltz from the tip to back of my tongueand the feel of you replays its chords and arpeggios under my fingers,a bit of your breath has lodged itself in a moist, hidden corner of my lungssettling down, seeping inbecoming a bit of me.

What if your kindness, your sweetness were as contagious as the rest of you?

You, being you, would throw wide your arms seeding the world with spark and fulgor.No war in Sudan, no drunken famine lulling babes to rest, no love ever lostfor you would have become like the gods,omnipotent, all loving, everything to everyone,removed, unattainable, fiery death to behold.

But in their knowing way, the gods bound you in restraining fleshjealous with their golden thrones, timid of your sparkretaining their position by shackling you to death.

lying back, i cradle my head and send a whispered prayer to those covetous godsand thank them for their misguided wisdom.

Heav'nbound you are owned by all- but Earthbound you are bound to me.

i breathe deep and feel that spark of you, that Part i breathed,that bit of you,as it slowly drips its way to my heartbecoming a bit of me.
